Can't wait to see what 2011 brings!

Ugly Sweater time...

Last weekend we spent back in the village, for grandma barb's christmas and grandma jo's.

Saturday we started off with visiting Santa and we got Addison to visit Santa without freaking out ofcourse that involved me sitting on his lap but hey i had to get my christmas list in there to right?!

Then we were off to visit Bob Howe's train set. Which i remember going to ever christmas since we were kids! And is one of my favorite thing to do.

Then it was time for the weekend event, "The Ugly Sweater Contest." This may just become a annual event because we want revenge against Becky & Scott and am already planning next years sweaters...

The Winners Scott & Becky

The Bacon's Dancing Around

Grandma Margaret rockin her ugly sweater.

Notice Travis in his awesome turtle neck in the background!

I was too busy playing the music to remember to grab the camera so I wasn't able to get everyone but we did film it and will hopefully get that down to uncle sheldon next week so he knows just how much craziness he moved away from!

We finished the weekend up at grandma jo's with a house packed full of cousins, aunts & uncles.

It was a great weekend!

Since i'm just now posting the events from last weekend and it is Christmas Eve we are heading up to Morganville for Christmas with Pat & Louie, can't wait for them to get there Christmas present!!!

8 days till Christmas

So its 8 days until Santa arrives and I'm pretty excited! This weekend we are going to the village Saturday to see Santa come in the fire truck and spend christmas at grandma barbs. Then sunday we are having christmas with grandma jo! I'm excited to get to see everyone, eat some good food and play a few games.
At grandma barbs there will be plenty of games to play maybe a few people caroling depending on how much wine is brought...

Tyler and I (well okay more Tyler) is putting together a Christmas video that we are going to show this weekend to it's full of some laughs and a few surprises! We also have our ugly sweaters ready to be shown to the world! Tyler wants to wear his all day but I'm not sure between the coon hat and sheep coat if you'll see us together! :)

I'll be sure to take LOTS of photos this weekend so I can post who had the ugliest sweater!!

To Grandma's House We Go!

This past weekend my sister and I got to help decorate Grandma Jo's house. I LOVE christmas and decorating is my favorite part! I seem to be the craftiest only in the month of December....

My little helper here

Who painted and glittered up letters to put on the mantle

Then we made some Santa Hats for the mantle. They are SUPER cute and very easy to make. (this is the blog I got the idea from http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2010/11/santa-hat-craft.html)

We made 3 different sizes so we all got to make one. It was like being a kid again doing crafts with grandma! :)

Here is the finished project!!

Here is Lind's JOY!

And the rest of the mantle! I am in love with this window (well any pretty window )

So we threw the window back up on to the mantle and added snow flakes.

Grandma's house is officially ready for Christmas!

I'll post a few other projects later!

If anyone has any extra random wood that they don't want let us know I've got LOTS of ideas!
